Hi Michael,
what about writing your own step for such a verification? It will make
your code far more readable and you won't be limited by XPath possibilities:
<groovy>
import com.canoo.webtest.steps.Step
class MyTableVerification extends Step
{
String xpath
void doExecute()
{
def table = context.currentResponse.getFirstByXPath(xpath)
... // your verifications here
}
}
project.addTaskDefinition("myTableVerification", MyTableVerification)
</groovy>
Usage:
<myTableVerification xpath="//path/to/your/table"/>
Cheers,
Marc.
